Metavesco Inc. (OTC: MVCO) has announced Squawktober, a free four-week stock challenge hosted on OTC Squawk, its social discussion and discovery platform built exclusively for over-the-counter traders. The contest, which runs through October 30, invites participants to pick one OTC stock each week, with the five highest season totals splitting a prize pool that grows up to $6,000. First place takes $2,000, while second through fifth receive $1,000 each. The prize pool increases with every new participant, stopping when joining closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on October 25. Picks for week two can be placed until lock on Sunday, October 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET, and full rules are available at https://otcsquawk.com/squawktober/rules.
OTC traders have long had to piece together research from SEC filings, FINRA notices, OTC Markets data, and scattered message boards. OTC Squawk consolidates this information into one page, displaying share structure, dilution waiting in filings, plain English filing summaries, and breaking news alongside trader discussions. Since its public launch in August, the platform has rolled out a series of major updates designed for the way OTC traders work. These include five heat maps that track market movements by dollar volume, a live tape of SEC filings, press releases, and FINRA corporate actions with push notifications, and a detailed dilution tracker showing shares outstanding against authorized, plus a timeline of every convertible note, warrant, and preferred share from two years of SEC filings. Additionally, AI-powered filing summaries provide one-tap plain English explanations, and Squawk Talk offers live audio rooms where approved hosts run discussions, listeners can raise hands to speak, and chats link every ticker and handle mentioned. Replays stay on host profiles for 90 days, and a daily 8:45 a.m. Preflight rundown summarizes followed tickers each market morning.
The launch of Squawktober underscores Metavesco's commitment to building infrastructure and opportunity for the OTC market. By incentivizing participation, the challenge could drive user adoption of OTC Squawk, potentially increasing transparency and community engagement in a sector often criticized for fragmentation. For traders, the platform's integrated tools may streamline research and decision-making, while the contest adds a gamified element that could attract new participants. The growing prize pool, which increases with each new entrant, creates a network effect, encouraging existing users to invite others. This could lead to a more robust and informed trading community, ultimately benefiting the broader OTC market by promoting due diligence and real-time information sharing.
Metavesco operates with a long-term, co-owner-aligned philosophy and is committed to supporting the strength, transparency, and integrity of the OTC market. The company operates Epic Labor and other wholly owned subsidiaries. More information is available at metavesco.com.
